I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

A few days later, November 25th arrived as scheduled. The weather was sunny and autumn was in full swing.

Genkawa Yu specially set aside half a day, changed into casual clothes, and brought the prepared manuscript of "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store" to a meeting room at the Shinazugawa Bookstore, where he had arranged to meet with the editor.

After all, Genkawa Yu is no longer the minor character he once was, so arranging to meet the editor at a coffee shop would be quite troublesome.

Upon entering the Shinazugawa Bookstore and stating his purpose, he was immediately led to the office. As soon as he opened the door, editor Machida Sonoko was already there.

When she saw Yuu Minakawa walk in, she immediately stood up and greeted him warmly.

Machida Sonoko is genuinely quite emotional; the little artist who was blacklisted by Johnny & Associates has now become a behemoth.

Now he's come to me with his new work, which is quite surreal, considering the similar scene during the discussion about "Love Letter".

"Mr. Genkawa, it's been a long time."

"Hehe, Machida-san is still as charming as ever."

"You flatter me."

After both parties were seated, they got straight to the point without much small talk.

Genkawa Yu handed the manuscript to the other party and then gave a detailed introduction to the storyline and creative concept of "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store". As a professional editor, Machida was able to read the manuscript very quickly and could identify the quality of the story in the shortest time.

So after reading the first few tens of thousands of words, she immediately judged that this was an outstanding work, and probably another classic that would sell as well as "Love Letter".

The writing in "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store" is gentle and delicate, with sincere emotions. Moreover, the plot design has a unique feature of being interconnected. Although Yu Genkawa is not a new writer, editor Machida still admires Yu Genkawa after reading the story.

"A truly remarkable work. Genkawa-san is indeed exceptionally talented."

"If we can finalize the collaboration, I hope to publish it as soon as possible."

"That's natural."

After more than an hour of negotiations, both parties finally reached an agreement and finalized the publication of "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store".

Yu Genkawa didn't call his manager to discuss profit sharing and other matters today. After all, given his current status and position, Kodansha wouldn't dare to act recklessly; at the very least, they would discuss profit sharing according to the highest market standards.

After the contract was signed, everything was settled.

Kodansha will collaborate with Yu Minakawa's "Star Engine" to promote this book, with the official release date set for December 5th.

Yu Genkawa's royalty share is 15%, which is already a high price in the industry, since it is usually 10%. However, Kodansha felt that Yu Genkawa could continue to cooperate, so they offered this generous offer.

Are you satisfied with this ratio?

"Of course, thank you for your generosity, esteemed publishing house."

After the negotiations concluded, both parties signed a formal publishing contract.

Genkawa Yu looked at the contract in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the publication of "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store" has finally been settled, he will now devote himself to the publicity work.

Upon returning to the company, Yuan Chuanyu immediately convened an emergency meeting with the relevant senior executives of [Star Engine] to deploy the promotional work for "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store".

Regardless, he still had high hopes for this book, because in his previous life it had caused a sensation in almost all of Asia. This was just the first step, and he had to proceed steadily and surely.

"I'll leave these matters to you all; please do your utmost!"

"Yes, President Genkawa!"

All the executives expressed their determination to do a good job in publicity and live up to Yuan Chuanyou's expectations.

After the meeting, the publicity department of [Star Engine] immediately took action, connecting with the publicity teams of Shinazugawa Bookstore and Kodansha to develop a more detailed publicity plan and launch a comprehensive publicity campaign.

After all, no matter how good a work is, it still needs marketing strategies. The saying "good wine needs no bush" is just a joke. Without promotion, wouldn't it be a waste of the convenience of the internet age?

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's November 28th.

Today is the first day of the promotional campaign for "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store".

The official Twitter accounts of Shinazugawa Shoten, Kodansha, and Star Engine, as well as Yu Minakawa's personal Twitter account, will simultaneously announce the release of the new book, kicking off the book's promotion.

At 10:00 AM sharp, the four accounts posted the same update.

[Yu Genkawa's new novel, *The Miracles of the Namiya General Store*, will be officially released on December 5th! With time as its bond and warmth as its sentiment, redemption across time is hidden in each letter. Please look forward to it!]

Meanwhile, Yu Genkawa had also specifically sought out an excellent commercial illustrator to create an illustration that matched the core of the work and posted it below the Twitter post.

The overall illustration depicts a retro and cozy wooden cabin scene.

The wooden bookshelf on the left displays old-fashioned clocks, glass marbles, vintage telephones, vinyl records, and more, exuding a strong sense of nostalgia.

In the room on the right, the elderly shopkeeper was writing at his desk, replying to many letters, some of which even floated to the floor.

The cover illustration also indicates the book title and author, and the overall image conveys a pure sense of healing, echoing the book's theme.

"In this general store, people write down their troubles and drop them into the mailbox at the front door. The next day, they will receive a reply in the milk box behind the store. It gently accepts every confusion and sorrow and conveys a warm and healing power."

The promotional tagline, also written by Yuu Genkawa, expresses the core theme of the book and serves as a hook to attract readers.

The news went viral instantly.

Fans who follow Genkawa Yu are completely engrossed in the celebration.

Whether they were his female fans, his romantic partners, his acting fans, or his book fans, the news ignited their enthusiasm, and they left comments in the comment section expressing their anticipation and joy.

"Oh my god! I've finally got Genkawa-sensei's new work! I've been looking forward to it for so long, I'm definitely going to buy it as soon as possible this time!"

"Yu-kun is so amazing! He has a new work so soon, I want to buy a hundred copies!"

"The name alone is so soothing, I'm already looking forward to it!"

"As a fan of Genkawa's books, I've been eagerly anticipating his new work, and I'm so happy that it's finally going to be released!"

"The cover is so beautiful! It's so heartwarming and comforting. I can't wait to get my hands on the physical book!"

The comments section was instantly flooded with messages, each one filled with the fans' anticipation and affection.

The number of reposts began to increase rapidly at a visible speed, and in just five minutes, the topic of discussion exploded in popularity.

This topic surged and officially reached the top of Twitter's trending list around 10:30 AM, where it remained until it became the most popular topic of the day, attracting countless people's attention.

Volume 3: I Am a Knight of the New Era - Chapter 82 Asakura and Kato, Friendship in Another Meaning! (2-in-1 5k)

#Yu Genkawa's new work is coming soon!#

This topic spread like wildfire, sweeping across the entire Japanese internet in almost a single day, making "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store" the most talked-about cultural event of the year even before its release.

The person who sparked these discussions is currently on the set of "Kamen Rider Goku," experiencing the chain reaction brought about by this popularity.

He was already the most popular male lead in the crew, and now that his new book is about to be released, he has gained another layer of "literary genius" aura, making him the focus of the entire set. Wherever he goes, he can feel the enthusiastic pursuit of the crowd.

"Congratulations, Genkawa-kun! The new book announcement is incredibly popular, it's trending number one on Twitter!"

"Yes, Genkawa-san is amazing! He can act and write novels, he's practically an all-rounder! I'll definitely be the first to support your new book when it's released!"

"I've already talked to my friends, and we're all going to support Genkawa-kun's new book. I'm sure it will be a huge bestseller!"

The congratulations that came one after another represented everyone's feelings. Genkawa Yu didn't bother to distinguish between genuine and fake congratulations; he simply maintained a polite and humble smile and replied to everyone one by one.

"Thank you all for your support. I will definitely send you signed copies when the new book is released."

As an entertainer, there are still some things that need to be done, because there is still a long way to go before becoming a big capitalist, and Yuu Genkawa still has to give face to others.

On a bench in the rest area, Sato Masa and Mayo Kazuto were sitting together chatting about the scenes they filmed that morning. When they saw Genkawa Yu approaching, the two immediately stood up and smiled warmly at each other.

"Hey, the great writer is here!"

Kazuto Masahiro laughed and chimed in, "You really are an incredibly energetic person. You can even write novels in your spare time. That's amazing."

Genkawa Yu walked to the bench and sat down, a faint smile on his face.

"Since you're so supportive, how many copies will you buy?"

Mr. Sato Masashi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I want to buy a thousand copies and give them away to my fans in a raffle. How about that? Isn't that generous enough?"

Kazuto Masaki nodded, "Me too. I can also help you promote it on Twitter later."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, thank you for your patronage."

Genkawa Yu cupped his hands in thanks, his eyes smiling, "However, I don't have anything to thank you with, so I'll treat you to ramen from a roadside stall next time."

"That won't do! You'll definitely make a fortune when the book is released!"

"I'll definitely fleece you!"

As they were chatting, the filming notice came over, and the three of them had no choice but to get up and head towards the filming location.

Because of his mastery of "leading role-level acting skills (purple)," Yu Genkawa is now very skilled at acting and can easily handle any role.

The morning's filming went very smoothly, with both action scenes and dramatic scenes progressing very well.

The lunch break lasts about an hour, but the extras and stagehands have to keep working, and only the main actors get a real rest.

Yu Genkawa, the male protagonist of "Kamen Rider Goku," has his own private dressing room, which is equipped with a sofa, coffee table, wardrobe, and other facilities. There is also a small bed inside so that he can rest during filming breaks.

The door to the lounge was locked, of course, and only Yuu Minakawa had the key. However, after they became a couple, he specially gave one to Toru Asakura as well.

Upon entering the lounge, Yu Genkawa had just leaned back on the sofa when Megumi Kato instinctively came over to massage his shoulders.

Perhaps because she was already very skilled, her movements made Yuu Minakawa feel very relaxed.

"Seriously, Kato, your skills are getting better and better. Have you been secretly taking massage classes?"

Yuan Chuan You was dozing off, feeling the girl's small hands touching his body.

“I’ve been massaging my mom a lot lately, and I’ve been practicing for a long time.”

"Hehe, you're really filial."

Genkawa Yu opened his eyes and looked at Kato Megumi beside him. The next moment, he couldn't help but gently pull her wrist and tug her slightly, pulling her onto his lap. Then he reached out and wrapped his arms around her soft waist.

"Now I realize that I really can't live without you, Kato..."

Kato Megumi smiled slightly upon hearing this, then stretched out her arms and gently wrapped them around Genkawa Yu's neck.
